“Nice”

Price was a bit high for this home, but we so enjoyed the location...the convenience of being right on the beach and steps away from the sand and surf. Home needed batteries in most everything but we never called about that. Most remotes and clocks were with dead batteries. Walls are paper thin, so those with ear plugs should bring them. Lol No closets anywhere...so storing suitcases and tubs of kitchen items was a bit challenging. As we were told, this is a small house...but nice.
Great mattresses by the way!!!
We rented both sides so noisy group was on one side and quiet group was placed on the other side. Loved loved loved the televisions in all bedrooms and den area. Why is it people don't put this in all rental homes. My husband and myself had the back bedroom and that was without a ceiling fan...this room got a bit warm and a fan drowns out noise...so that would be nice.
Personally I wish I had money to buy this home since it is for sale. Dreaming?
Kitchen was well stocked on both sides.
Been visiting Emerald Isle for over 20 years, and have never seen the ocean and water the Emerald color we have heard about. It was a beautiful week. Felt like we were in the Carribean the water was so clear and blue.

“Great get-away”

The people I worked with at Shorewood are the best!!! The house was very nice. The living room and kitchen are very spacious and well kept. The bedrooms are small but do have queen beds. The bathrooms are small but has everything you need.It is close to everything on both ends of the island.
The disappointing part was the rocking chairs. I saw a picture of beautiful white rockers on the porch but in reality they were very weathered and falling apart. I was afraid to sit in them. The other disappointment was the dunes are high in front of the house so when you are sitting on the porch you cannot see the ocean straigt ahead. The nice thing is the ramp to the beach. You are very close to the beach for nice walks or swims.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post a review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Big Pelican.
Regarding the rocking chair picture, we are baffled. We do not, and have not, had any pictures for Big Pelican representing rocking chairs. Perhaps another property that you were considering contained the rocking chairs?
Nonetheless, we have consulted the homeowner about the condition of the exterior deck chairs and there will be replacements for 2010.
Again, thank you for your review. We look forward to seeing you again!
